Jif Peanut Butter Recall Update – More Food Products Added to List
Important announcement for you or your loved ones who may have Jif peanut butter products at home!
Have you purchased Jif peanut butter products recently?
Recently, the J.M. Smucker Co. began to voluntarily recall select Jif products. Since then, the voluntary recall has expanded to additional products containing select Jif products in the United States due to potential Salmonella contamination.
This issue was discovered after a multistate outbreak of Salmonella. Illnesses were reported in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. The investigation led back to Jif brand peanut butter produced in the J.M. Smucker onlinepany facility located in Lexington, Kentucky.
